I'm not a mentor, but--perhaps it would help if you started with bullet points to get down the key things you'd like to address, then expand on them later? Then you can rearrange it after it's done, go back and work on transitions, etc.
Also, I can take weeks thinking up a back story for a new character and days for some individual posts. Oddly, I do best late at night before I'm about to fall asleep. But when push comes to shove, sometimes the best I can do is keep trucking anyway. I don't wind up 100% satisfied with my writing, but it keeps me from getting stuck in a pit indefinitely. I settle back into the groove eventually.
Hope this helps <3
